Who We Are

University of Florida's "Croc Docs" are a team of biologists, ecological modelers, and outreach specialists on the forefront of wildlife research in south Florida and the Caribbean. We conduct long-term, applied research and monitoring focused on crocodilians, invasive reptiles, threatened and endangered species, climate change, and human dimensions. In collaboration with federal, state, local, and tribal agencies, we respond to pressing wildlife management needs and provide scientific support for Everglades restoration.

To stay up to date on what we're doing, you can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. To report invasive species sightings in Florida, you can download the IveGot1 application powered by EDDMapS (link below).
